Dan has recently been recording in Los Angeles with Brazilian sensation Meia Noite from Sergio Mendes. Meia will be featuring on the CSRO Project. Currently editing the LA sessions, Dan is also orchestrating the next phase which will be in Dublin and London, setting the ground for further activities in Europe afterwards. It's fast becoming a celebrity project - we hope to be recording with Victor Wooten when schedules coincide.

Dan linked up with Kevin Eubanks and Celtic Salsa Express horn player George Ragsdale for a short session and also with former CSE vocalists now performing with Ben E. King. As the sessions developed NY vocalist Saundra Williams came on board to add her smooth vocals. Further sessions are planned both in LA and New York.

Back in Dublin, Dan launched the Frontier Studio with a live session which saw major Irish players Eoghan O'Neill, Robbie Casserley and Anto Drennan lay down some great tracks that are destined to feature in the International project Frontier will be launching in the US. Contributions from Uileann piper Flaithri Neff interweave with Brazilian musicians in a mesmirising fashion ... so much going on, more of which later.

Following a break due to family bereavement, Dan has completed the Frontier Studio, which will accommodate visiting celebs for project collaborations. Dan will be Manhattan based for recording/production while assembling a huge International project which will tour the main American cities.

Dan has been recording in Abbey Road Studios, London with The London Metropolian Orchestra, completing the first stages of an exciting album that brings his material into new areas, including mixing the combined strengths of the LMO with the intricacies of Irish rhythms and the power of some significant Diva/Gospel talent. With results so far sounding great and creating some real excitement, he'll be heading back to Abbey Road for further sessions pretty soon.

Looking further afield, plans are being laid to work with some Arabic musicians, consolidating Dan's interest from his travels in the Middle East a few years ago.

Closer to home, Dan plans to go back into Westland with Rob Casserley and will be also be guesting with a series of great UK talent from the Pop, Jazz, and Rock spheres.

Somewhere in all this hive of activity there will be shows ranging from the full Frontier experience with flavors from all the projects through to unplugged Radio stuff! Sights are now set on bringing the show to New York by the end of the year.

Dan was recently asked where he sees this all going. His reply, after a few moments thought, was that he'd "like to see the projects span the globe, bringing cultures together. I'm tired of seeing divisions." Certainly, his recent musical endeavours have been crossing a lot of boundaries.
